Inventor: SNELLMAN JORMA
IPC: D21F1/52
Filed: 1997-12-22
Abstract: The invention concerns a suction box in a paper machine, comprising a vacuum chamber (21), a deck or a number of substantially U-section holders (24) open towards the wire or equivalent, and a number of ribs (22), which have been fitted in said deck or in said holders (24) so that they can be loaded against the wire or equivalent by means of loading means (23). At least in a running situation, the deck of the suction box (20) or the position of the ribs (22) is curved so that the wire tension lowers the normal force which is produced by the vacuum present in the suction box (20) and which is effective between the wire and the deck/ribs (22). Further, the invention also concerns a method in a suction box in a paper machine, wherein a vacuum is formed in the vacuum chamber (21) of the suction box (20) and, during formation of the vacuum, the deck and/or the ribs (22) is/are pressed against the wire or equivalent. In the method, at least in a running situation, the curve form of the deck of the suction box (20) or of the position of the ribs (22) is such that the wire tension lowers the normal force which is produced by the vacuum present in the suction box (20) and which is effective between the wire and the deck/ribs (22).

Abstract: Drugs for ameliorating ophthalmic
circulatory disturbance characterized by
containing as the active ingredient potassium
channel openers. As the potassium channel
openers, use may be preferably mado of
carboxyimidamide derivatives represented by
general formula (I), acid-addition salts thereof
or hydrates of the same, wherein each symbol
is as defined in the specification. When
dropped into eyes, in particular, drugs for
ameliorating ophthalmic circulatory
disturbance containing the compounds of
general formula (I) can increase the blood flow
in the optic papillae of normal eyes and inhibit
retinal vessel contraction and a decrease in the
blood flow in the optic papillae of eyes suffering from circulatory disturbance caused by ET-1 while scarcely affecting the blood pressure. It
is therefore suggested that these compounds are useful as remedies for glaucoma, in particular, normotensive glaucoma caused by
ophthalmic circulatory disturbance, retinal pigment degeneration, macular degeneration, ischemic optic nerve disease, iridocyclitis, retinal
arterial obliteration, retinal phlebemphraxis, diabetic retinopathy, ischemic optic nerve disease, choroid diseases following retinal lesions,
retinal choroid diseases accompanied by systemic diseases, etc.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une structure radiale servant de support radial à une tourelle (14) soutenue de manière rotative par un navire (10) et comportant plusieurs ensembles de supports radiaux espacés en arc (74), afin de maintenir radialement un rail (38) disposé autour de le tourelle (74). Chacun desdits ensembles (74) possède un galet (104) et un suiveur (94). Une paire d'ensembles ressorts concentriques (92, 98) sollicite de manière continue le suiveur (94) et le galet (104) en les poussant contre le rail (38), de sorte que le galet (104) demeure en toutes circonstances en contact avec le rail (38). Comme illustré par la figure 7, les ressorts intérieurs (92) ont accompli un déplacement maximum radial vers le rail (38) et n'exercent aucune force radiale contre le suiveur (94) et le galet (104). Lorsque la tourelle (14) effectue des mouvements maximums latéraux, le ressort hélicoïdal extérieur (98) exerce une force sur le suiveur (94) et le galet (104) afin de les séparer d'une distance (D) par rapport et au delà des ressorts intérieurs (92), de façon à maintenir la charge des ressorts sur le galet (104) et le garder en contact avec le rail (38). Comme illustré par la figure 8, l'ensemble de ressorts intérieurs peut comprendre un ressort élastomère (92A) pourvu de plusieurs plaquettes élastomères (93A) séparées par des disques métalliques (95A).

Abstract: A tool for removing pork rind comprises a cutter section including a straight blade (3) of set width. A driven roller (2) is spaced away from this, by the rind thickness. The roller turns and the rind is stripped away, as the meat passes by. The drive components and blade form a hand-portable, rind removal tool (1). A stripper (9) further around the roller, removes the rind from it, to leave the equipment casing through a slot. The novelty is that the stripper (9) is offset from the blade by about 180 degrees around the roller. Its guide surface (11) directs the rind to the outlet gap (12), preferably directing it downwards (4). This strips whole- or half carcasses in the hanging position, before further subdivision. A second, variable-position stripper (13) comes into play, when stripping horizontally. The stripping edge is close to the rind removal blade (3), with an outlet immediately behind. The stripper guide surface leads rind to this outlet. The action is much the same, except that the rind is not doubled back before leaving. When stripping horizontally, the first stripper (9) and exit gap (12) are functionless. The second stripper can be locked in a non-functional position outside the rind guide.

Abstract: Communication cells (11, 12, 13) in a cellular communications system are
sectored (A, B, C) by means of steerable directional antennas (5, 6, 7) to enable
frequency re-use in cell clusters (11, 12, 13). In order to reduce co-channel
interference at blind spots where a mobile subscriber is capable of receiving
signals from two base stations (15, 17) on the same carrier frequency (A), the
sectors are rotated back and forth between two pre-determined configurations.
Thus the co-channel interference averaged over the duration of a call is much
reduced.

Abstract: The invention provides iterative methods of analyzing a target nucleic acid that represents a variant of a reference nucleic acid. An array of probes is designed to be complementary to an estimated sequence of a target nucleic acid. The array of probes is then hybridized to the target nucleic acid. The target sequence is reestimated from hybridization pattern of the array to the target nucleic acid. A further array of probes is then designed to be complementary to the reestimated sequence, and this array is used to obtain a further reestimate of the sequence of the target nucleic acid. By performing iterative cycles of array design and target sequence estimation, the estimated sequence of the target converges with the true sequence.
